In a medium-sized town where life has settled down, a man roams through days and nights, indifferent to everything, as he believes. His domain is a bar, an empty apartment, and the paths between them. He can no longer be with others; it drives him away from people, and he can no longer be with himself; it disgusts him. He meets a younger woman who prefers to be on the move because the thought of having to be responsible for another person or for anything else frightens her.

The trial of the case, which has become known under the catchphrase "Murder in Kehrsatz", triggered a great deal of public sympathy and, after the verdict, considerable protest. This came out primarily from a jury member of the process. She, a housewife and SVP member, began to have more and more doubts about a judiciary that apparently no longer works according to the principle "in the case of doubt for the accused". The film tells the story of these jurors during the long trial.
